How do i tell weather or not i have a 64bit system when i bought my laptop it came with a 32bit version of Vista(i took Vista off)?


My system: HP Pavilion dv9620us Notebook PC

• 1.9 GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 Dual-Core Mobile Technology TL-58

yes you have 64 bit-capable hardware. I run ubuntu 64 on a couple of very similar models (dv9205/dv9830). give the 64bit a try

AMD Turion 64 X2

... pretty much says it all .....

AMD Turion is the brand name AMD applies to its 64-bit low-power consumption (mobile) processors codenamed K8

As you can see your CPU supports 64bit computer architecture (OS).

Ok think you very much i will upgrade when i get home

First guess, you have a 64bit system just because of what your sig says your processor is.

You can confirm this with:

cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep lm

Please note that "uname -a" will only tell you if the linux version/distro you are running is 64 bit. (not whether your computer is 64 bit capable) I'm just nitpicking for the sake of others reading this thread who may need to know this.

Hmm .. the question is: Do i have a 64 bit cpu? Or.. is my system for 64 bit cpu? Every question is already answered =)

There is no upgrade to 64-bit available. You need to do a full install.
